A veteran Los Angeles County prosecutor scolded his boss Thursday, saying his progressive reforms and management style have alienated his colleagues and turned the nation's largest district attorney's office into a "managerial dumpster fire."In a lengthy letter to District Attorney George Gascon and his top aides, prosecutor Mark Burnley aired a number of grievances on his last day with the office. Burnley said he has been with the DA's office since 1999 and a prosecutor for 28 years. "Until December 2020, I thought I had the best job in the world," Burnley wrote, referring to when Gascon took office after unseating incumbent DA Jackie Lacey, in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital. "I am constantly amazed by the expertise and knowledge of the DDAs in this office. They are deeply devoted and have a breathtaking amount of experience.  It's a shame you cannot or will not recognize that."Support the showSign Up For Exclusive Episodes At: https://reasonabletv.com/LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos every day. https://www.youtube.com/c/NewsForReasonablePeople

All across the country, our communities are seeing the real-life consequences of unchecked crime. After 9 people were shot at a mall in South Carolina, police arrested a 22-year-old suspect, but he was quickly released after he paid 10% of a $25,000 bond. In Los Angeles, a gang member was thrilled to learn that District Attorney George Gascon was downgrading his murder charges. The convicted killer, who was originally facing life without parole, praised Gascon and vowed to get his name tatted on his face. There’s been a lot of people recently talking about the revolving-door criminal justice system and the deadly policies of rogue prosecutors. What they are saying now, the Fraternal Order of Police was saying nearly 800 days ago. In December of 2019, FOP leaders from across the country met at the White House to sound the alarm of a looming crime crisis in America. One caused by rogue prosecutors, activist judges, and radical policies like bail reform. On this episode of the Blue View, we’re joined by National Fraternal Order of Police Vice President Joe Gamaldi to discuss the crime crisis, rogue prosecutors, and the current state of policing in America.

Crime is on the rise in Los Angeles, and the soft-on-criminals policies of District Attorney George Gascon are a major cause, Sheriff Alex Villanueva says. When Gascon took office in December 2020 as one of the successful candidates backed by liberal financier George Soros, he issued a list of crimes that the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office no longer would prosecute. Those changes are “unleashing a wave of crime by not prosecuting criminals who are victimizing poor people, people of color, people that live in the toughest neighborhoods in our communities,” Villanueva says. Villanueva, a lieutenant in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department when he was elected sheriff in 2018, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how Gascon's policies led to criminals being released back onto the streets and how the "defund the police" movement has affected his workforce.Also on today's show, we cover these stories:The Biden administration extends the mask mandate for many travelers, especially on planes and trains, for another 15 days.President Biden accuses Russia of committing genocide against the Ukrainian people.Texas Gov.

On today's extra busy Breitbart News Daily podcast, we discuss the suspended co-host of "The View" Whoopi Goldberg - who has insisted in the past that she is in fact Jewish - who is in the process of getting canceled for insensitive comments about the Holocaust. Whoopi is a very odd person and what she said was dumb, but does she need to be fired for this? We break it down. Speaking of cancellation, the Joe Rogan cancel mob is in overdrive. With blood in the water, the White House and other musical artists are in full witch hunt mode, trying to brand the Spotify podcaster and comic with a scarlet letter "M" for misinformation. He's in trouble here, and he probably lost some street cred by lightly caving to the mob.

Today on Sojourner Truth: A possible sweep by Democrats in the Georgia Senatorial election. Victory has been declared for 51-year-old Raphael Warnock, who makes history as the first Black Senator from the southern state of Georgia. He narrowly defeated Kelly Loeffler. Loeffler was appointed to her seat by the governor of Georgia to fill a vacancy left by Johnny Isakson, who resigned his Senate seat due to health reasons. Loeffler is an ardent Trump supporter and is one of the Senators who today will challenge the election of Biden/Harris. Liberal Democrat Jon Ossoff maintains a narrow lead over Republican Trump supporter David Purdue. If he wins, Jon Ossoff will be the youngest Senator to be seated since Joe Biden. Ossoff is of Jewish descent. Are we witnessing a resurgence of Black-Jewish alliances reminiscent of the civil rights era? What role did Black voters play in the outcome? Our guest is Jill Cartwright, Georgia statewide organizer for Southerners for New Ground (SONG). All this, as drama unfolds in Congress today as elected officials on both the House and Senate side will attempt to stop the electoral college vote certification of the Biden/Harris administration. Donald Trump has made a phone call that may have been illegal to a Georgia election official pushing him to nullify the vote count there and instead give the Georgia vote to him. Trump is also making the false claim that Vice President Pence has the power to nullify the electoral college vote, but thus far Pence is said to have explained to Trump that he does not have such power. Meanwhile the streets of Washington, D.C. will be hot today with thousands of Trump supporters descending on the nations capital to demand that Trump remain President.
